Cleveland Clinic CWRU Nurse Anesthesia Program — frequently asked
What GPA does Cleveland Clinic CWRU Nurse Anesthesia Program require?
Cleveland Clinic CWRU Nurse Anesthesia Program lists a science GPA of at least 3.0. Minimums are a floor, not a target — admitted applicants are frequently above them, so treat the stated number as the bar to clear rather than the goal.
How much ICU experience does Cleveland Clinic CWRU Nurse Anesthesia Program require?
At least 12 months of critical-care experience. Most programs want that experience to be recent, in an adult ICU, and at high acuity — the unit you work in usually matters as much as the number of months.

36 months of full-time study, awarding the DNP. Nurse anesthesia programs are front-loaded and clinically intense; most discourage working during the program.
How much does Cleveland Clinic CWRU Nurse Anesthesia Program cost?
Cleveland Clinic CWRU Nurse Anesthesia Program doesn't state a program total.

Books, living costs and any fees not included come on top, and because most students can't work much during the program, budget for living expenses across its full length.
